Tell-Tale Cottage, Deal

Named after the fabric threads that help sailors to trim their sails, Tell-Tale Cottage is a charming holiday home located in the heart of the conservation area of the Georgian town of Deal. The entire ground floor is an open space, perfect for families and friends to socialise, and there is a small, but sunny courtyard through French doors to the rear. Upstairs are two cosy bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. The cottage is a few yards from both the buzzing high street with its delis, boutique shops and cafes, and also a few yards from the main promenade and long pebble beach. Take some time to wander the interesting streets of Deal, a town steeped in Maritime history. Once a bustling location for smugglers and boatmen, there is plenty to explore. For guests who like country walks and historic sites, there’s plenty of choice nearby, including both Deal and Walmer castles, and a fabulous coastal walk to Kingsdown where you can enjoy a bite to eat at The Zetland Arms - a pub on the beach overlooking the White Cliffs of Dover. Golfers are spoilt for choice with the local clubs of Royal Cinque Ports and Walmer & Kingsdown golf clubs. The championship courses of Royal St George’s, and Princes are just a short drive away. Tell-Tale Cottage really does have everything you will need for a wonderful coastal holiday or short break in Deal.

Great customer service

The customer service was excellent right from booking and they were happy to accommodate a last minute request for one of their cocktail boxes. The cottage was lovely and in an excellent location in Deal, would definitely come back

Cosy Cottage near the sea.

We stayed in this lovely welcoming cottage for 6 days. It was delightful and felt so welcoming. So near the seafront and resturants. Would highly recommend.

Weekend Break

First time visit to Deal and Tell Tale Cottage was an excellent base to explore. Set in the old town everything was in walking distance & the cottage was very comfortable for the three of us and our cockapoo. Would recommend & would like to stay again.

Lovely weekend

We had a lovely weekend at Tell-Tale Cottage. The location is perfect - moments from the beach in one direction and the bustling High Street and Saturday market in the other. Two lovely pubs nearby and numerous restaurants to choose from. The cottage itself is cosy and welcoming and had everything we needed for the perfect weekend

Excellent short stay

Greatly enjoyed this stay. The cottage is beautifully located for everything Deal has to offer. We didn't need much customer service but when we did it was essential and excellent: we arrived late on Day 1, around 9pm, and couldn't get in because the lower (bolt) lock on the front door resolutely refused to open. Two members of staff swiftly came out to help and resolved the issue; both were the soul of kindness and amenability despite the hour - thank you so much to both. The house is lovely inside and well equipped in every way. Only tiny point, more for information than an "issue": it floods with daylight from dawn so you may wake very early. (That may be just what you want, of course.) And this may be aimed at previous guests, but the cutlery and mugs could have been a fraction cleaner. And maybe it's time for some nicer flooring in the bathroom? These are very minor points though. All in all it was a very happy and relaxing stay and we have no hesitation in recommending it.
